Management and "Boss" are amazing, management has evolved into an amzaing, organized force. A team of well educated and informed people who really are open to discussion and progress. Best management team I have ever worked with. Our PA,and PGA are just as amazing. Co s are available hrs., but option to use pto in emergencies etc. The work floor dynamic works for me. Very organized and fluid.

Cons

Breaks would be adored if a little lo ger

Advice to Management

None, I enjoy their ethic and integrity they all are great examples of what Amazon stands for

Every one must do the same production standard, it is not possible with disabilities.

Advice to Management

Managers need to address their associate, one-on one, not have Integrity ambassador talk for them about my work performance. I might have been able to want to stay at Goodyear, AZ With letting them know about my disabilities, & my age to, Sixty-five. I have filed an, EECO.

-good pay-full time benefits starting day one-ability to learn new things

Cons

-not enough time for breaks- don't agree with the whole "your 15 minute break includes your 2.5 min walking time to and from" thing.-there is some favoritism-please give associates more incentives to want to stay. These vendor bucks and contests are few and far in between.-Also, when associates win something, it's a little offensive to give them a t-shirt you KNOW they already have.

Managers who do not care about the customer, the associates or the process.

Advice to Management

Know your role. It isn't just about the head count, the % to plan or connections questions score. Understand what the people you are asking to meet those numbers are going through. It is HARD to pick, pack, problemsolve, stow, or load a truck for 10 hours. Don't hide labor hours, leave the transparency in the process so it can be fixed, because while on paper it looks like you are hitting the numbers it is the associates who suffer.The leadership principals and processes work if we let them.

The Pros to Amazon are the Benefits that you get first day, VCP ,it's like extra money on your check for the building being productive and also that Entry Level associates can move up in Company (easier if willing to relocate).

Cons

The Cons to Amazon are the training program, the childlike management, the lack of care for associates, and a horrible work life balance. Training was the biggest issue during my time at Amazon. I experienced lack of training at every level (from temp to production data analyst) and would have to just figure it out to do my job effectively. Management is not the most useful when it comes to handling associate concerns. It may be because of the predominately young management that Amazon loves to employ. Turnover is High at Amazon. I am told the reason is because Amazon doesn't really like keeping employees for longer than two years and having to pay benefits out. From the inside looking out...I can see it.

Advice to Management

Management unfortunately also suffers from NOT being properly trained for their roles and are thrown into sink or swim situations all the time. Managers can also be childish and unprofessional. It's true that you can find this everywhere but its centrally located at Amazon, there are a lot of them in the company
